There is a 6 band QRP 5 watt Transceiver sold on Ebay and elsewhere.. That board is around $44... I have seen it in action on some Chinese YOUTUBE video.. Even with a very professional looking case. This is the VFO to that Transceiver. which brings us to again question the common sense of those that have purchased the BITX40 and are wishing to multi-band it... Especially when there is something like this out there.
Think about this- BITX40 - 1 band $59 USD - but 6 bands transceiver board for? $44 USD approx and this DDS VFO for $35.83 USD for about $80 USD .? $20 USD more...
I mean- I really enjoy my BITX40 V3 purchase, but it's 40 meters. It is, what it is. I think it is worth every penny. HOWEVER--? If I want more bands. 2-3-4-5? there is a proven alternate route. That also? addresses USB- LSB- CW- RIT- MEMORIES- VFO A- VFO B...
